Newcomer Garb

What to wear? I think that is one of the first questions every asked in history, and is typically one of the first questions asked by newcomers to the SCA. See you are already participating in the spirit of recreating history!

Period garb is great because you have several centuries of fashion spread across multiple countries to choose from. You can choose to keep it simple or go for a full historical wardrobe that would put a king to shame. For your first event you might be able to borrow garb from your fellow SCA group. But if you would like to get a start on your own collection here are a few directions.
